Forsaken Shroud

Quite an interesting new doom band from Edinburgh that describe themselves as Synth Doom. It's minimal and has a unique charm about it. The vocals call to my mind MDB, and so too do some parts of the music. They might interest a few heads here.

It's a bit sparse for my liking. I don't think the synths add enough either heft or atmosphere.

The lack of heft is OK in my book. Too much modern doom has nothing but heft and seems to lack identity to me. There is no shortage of ultra heavy doom so there is plenty of room for something that doesn't tick the boxes.
